  3. Identify the characteristics of organisations that facilitate public office holders acting in line with the Principles of Public Life;

  4. Consider whether there are mechanisms and practices used for embedding principles in the private and third sectors that can usefully be applied in the public sector, and by companies and charities providing services paid for by the taxpayer.
